$700 million that'll teach Google. Out of curiosity, what was Google's 2022 profit?
......279.8 billion This fine represents less than 0.25% of Google's profit. So I guess Google won't learn their lesson.

that's the equivalent of a couple sacks of groceries or a tank of gas for many of us.
Not to be a dick, but I think it's very slightly more than 0.25%.
